Liverpool have tabled a bid for Real Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez.

Marca says the Reds have offered £14.3million (€20million) for Real Sociedad defender Martinez.

Reds officials reportedly flew to Spain over the weekend to watch Martinez during La Real's 2-0 defeat to Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

With Dejan Lovren yet to cement his place in Liverpool's first-team and Kolo Toure not getting any younger, Brendan Rodgers is keen on adding a centre-back to his ranks.

La Real rate Martinez closer to £21.5million (€30million).
